i was totally fine with the rotating shop when the weapons were all reskins or sidegrades, but the medium-pen machete in the shop for dust devils makes me a lil butthurt. i think it’s literally the first medium-pen melee, and it IS an effective weapon!
I felt the same with the smart pistol they have in there. It’s really not even that good compared to my old reliable talon, but damn do I find it fun. The salamander armor (heavy inflammable) allowing the double-edged sickle to overperform is another one that saddened me, though that one isn’t entirely their fault since the DE sickle came out later.
i didn’t even consider armors! i’ve spent well over a warbond-worth of credits just chasing effects i like in classes they don’t exist in otherwise. i remember checking the store for days waiting for that salamander armor to come back around.
by the way, double edged sickle is HARD to swap out once you add it to a build! that and the blitzer are the only weapons i’ve had to drag myself away from. getting used to a heavy pen primary is dangerous lmao
Oh yeah, same here. I love gear with massive power in exchange for huge drawbacks you need to work around, so the double edged sickle was right up my alley and quickly became my favorite primary. Not just a heavy pen primary, but a heavy pen assault rifle with infinite ammo and near perfect accuracy. The constant screams of freedom coming out of my character as I burn with passion is an added bonus. Fortunately for me I’ve always liked fire-based weapons in helldivers (freedom’s flame was even my first warbond) so I already had the salamander armor by the time I needed it.
If you can get a friend to carry the stim pistol around for you it’s even more crazy fun.

I’m pretty sure all of the melee weapons are medium pen, that the light pen listing is inaccurate… But I’ll not 100% positive on that
